“The Gospel According to Norman.” Article-interview by Margaria Fichtner. Miami Herald, 4 May, Sec. I (“Arts”), pp. 1–2. Interviewed at Random House in New York, Mailer gives full measure in this piece, speaking of the myriad aesthetic, philosophical and historical issues he faced in writing 97.13, which he says he wrote “for those people who are like myself, who don’t have a clear idea of what Jesus is.”
